An 18-year-old woman who was driving a Kia Certo was also injured during the crash and transported to hospital with mild injuries.

Police arrived on scene shortly after and managed to track the 38-year-old woman down before arresting her.

The woman has been charged with three counts of causing serious harm by dangerous driving, leaving the scene of an accident, resisting police, failing to exchange details after an accident and causing death by dangerous driving. 

The 38-year-old has since been denied bail and is set to face the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on Thursday, November 3.
